Chapter 163 - Leads (1/2)
My head is throbbing a little bit when I woke up. As I look around the place, I wondered where I am. My head is in a bit of a woozy state but everything is still fresh in my mind. Strangely, something seems to be missing in my memory, and despite having an eidetic memory, I have a vague feeling that I don't remember the gap in my memories. It was some sort of memory while I was unconscious but strangely, I cannot remember it no matter how hard I try to recall the matter.
I stood up from the unfamiliar bed and rubbed my eyes. I quickly realized I am still in the game. So when I fired off the Incomplete Rhongomyniad, my body and consciousness are still intact which deemed the system to keep me in the game without forcefully logging me out.
I check if my weapon is still equipped and didn't melt after firing off the Incomplete Rhongomyniad and got relieved once I saw the Versatile Sword is still intact and still on its sheath. But then I noticed the arm that wielded the Versatile Weapon before firing it. I hold it with both hands but my left hand is the most dominant holder of the weapon. I am surprised when I saw the burn marks on my left arm. It was like it got scorched so badly in the grill.
”[Full Restoration].”
The healing magic immediately fixed the scar in my hands. I understood why it remained like this since no healers have access to [Full Restoration] just yet. Now that I am back in tip-top shape, I decided to look around and tried to remember where I was. But my train of thought was interrupted when Queen Tanya and my friends entered the room. I was even surprised when I saw Bloodaxe among them.
”Oh, it looks like the Hero has awakened. It looks like another further observation of his condition is now unnecessary since he already woke up from being unconscious!” Queen Tanya said as she entered the room.
”Bladeheart!” everyone rushed towards my position.
”Are you alright? How come you collapsed after using that skill while fighting the final boss? How come you just acted on your own?” Harmless Sparrow asked and checked up my wounds.
”You big dummy! Next time you do something like that, you should have told us so that we can prepare in case things like collapsing occurred! If the boss didn't die from your attack and you collapsed after using it, we are in a royal screwed-up situation!” Dolly said.
I can only scratch my head. Since we are desperate to win, I decided to use that even ignoring the consequences of my actions.
”Now, now, enough of that. What is done, is done. Don't keep dwelling on it. Anyways, everyone is eagerly waiting for your awakening. Your decision is the only thing they needed for the distribution of the loot. Bloodaxe here stopped them from getting the rewards since you are the actual leader and your decision is the most crucial one to them,” Queen Tanya said.
”Damn, really?! How long did I pass out?” I asked.
”Not that long, around one hour and 30 minutes only in my estimation after the battle against the final boss.”
It was a pain in the neck to do this and honestly, I am not interested in the loot. After all, I have the Blacksmith Ex-job, and creating items and armors by myself with good quality is good enough for me. Besides, they are going to be useless if my level is already high enough that their stats are incomparable to my current armor and my future clothes and accessories.
”Bloodaxe right?” I looked at Bloodaxe who was just quiet the whole time.
”Yes. We fought together earlier.”
”Yeah, of course, I know. Anyways, since you acted as the leader, might as well continue doing so. I relinquish the status of being the leader. I also give you all the rights to distribute the loot to other players who participated in the final battle. Just cross me out from the players who needed to get the items since I am not interested in the loot.”
Everyone in the room didn't expect my response about it. Even Queen Tanya was shocked when she heard my response.
”Are you serious about what you are saying Bladeheart? You are giving up your loot to others? Isn't that a huge waste?” Queen Tanya is more confused about it than anyone else because she probably thinks I will demand to get the best rewards. After all, I am the one who slays the final boss without becoming a sacrifice for Queen Tanya to make her move.
”As I said earlier, those gears and items are not something I will be interested in. And it would be a waste if I receive those, it would be better to give them to everyone else aside from me who needed those items. I don't think I needed it anyway.”
Bloodaxe wanted to argue but Harmless Sparrow stooped him and shook her head. ”If he said he didn't want it, that is absolute. Let's just follow his wishes instead.”
